STIG TOFTING, the Bolton Wanderers and Denmark midfield player, faces four months in prison after deciding not to appeal against his conviction for assault. Tofting was convicted in December but was due to appear before the state court on April 10 to appeal. However, Tofting said that he will not appeal on the advice of his lawyer, Anders Nehmet.

Tofting returned to Copenhagen last month, prompting speculation that he had been released by Bolton. He had, in fact, been granted compassionate leave because his wife had just given birth to a boy.
